This year, Hill and Lammy visited Kyiv.

They saidthat they came on a visit to show the Labor Party's support for Ukraine.

"Labor's support for Ukraine is unwavering. There may be changes in the UK government this year, but the UK's commitment to Ukraine will not change. Labour fully supports increased UK assistance to Ukraine this year and in the years ahead," said David Lammy and John Healey.

As The Standard wrote, David Lammy and John Healey visited Kyiv to emphasize that the party "fully supports" an increase in UK military aid to the war-torn country amid Moscow's intensified attacks on Kharkiv.

Addendum

Buckingham Palace has confirmed the resignation of British Conservative leader Rishi Sunak from the post of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after his party's election defeat.

British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer officially became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after an audience with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Friday, July 5.

After voting ended in the British election, it quickly became clear that Sir Keir Starmer's Labor Party was headed for a landslide victory, with exit polls indicating a significant loss of seats for the Conservatives.

With all but two constituencies now announced, Labor has won 412 seats, a result comparable to Tony Blair's triumph in 1997.
